[nabs-l] Questions to ask when looking to higher a driver.

Sat Apr 4 13:38:51 UTC 2009

Those are really great ideas but I can't leave a flyer up because the school 
is in a hospital. I tried asking about leaving a flyer so I could try to 
find someone that way but I was told that they  the people from the school 
are not alowd to ask other students to do things like that. As far as geting 
a list of students I am not sure they would even give it to me and I would 
have to wait until orientation to find out if someone from my ariea was able 
to let me car pull with them.
